possibility is that your dipstick is incorrect making your oil level too low
or you have a crack in the oil pickup tube
to test have front end lower by a foot or more and see if it will start up or get an oil pressure gauge and screw into HPOP res and test it while cranking.

Alright so I have a reader I went to read the codes but it just said can read codes no communication but there are 124 codes. So I thought it might be my code reader so I took it to a shop and I had the engine running and when we plug it in the engine kinda studered the. We press read codes and the engine died and shut off still I have 124 unreadable code. Could this be PCM

It's not the PCM. In both cases, it's the device. A generic OBD-II device won't communicate with our trucks, at least not to obtain diagnostic codes. A typical indicator of a device that doesn't "know" the OBS PSD's not-really-OBD-II protocol is that it kills the engine when you try to obtain codes. Get to a shop that you know has worked on our generation of truck. Other option is one of the DIY options for reading codes (AutoEnginuity, AeroForce, etc); there are tons of threads on the topic.
